Cooking Mama for the DS is one of those many games that feel right at home on Nintendo's dual screened money making handheld, and it pretty much does it's job providing a brief, but fun, collection of cooking themed scenarios to breeze through. Using the stylus and touch screen to prepare your various dishes for dining pleasure, Cooking Mama will look adorable even to the most jaded of gamers thanks to it's cartoony yet unbelievably charming presentation. There's a nice amount of different combination dishes to cook up, but sadly it won't take you long to march through the game at all. This is simplified even more thanks to the fact that Cooking Mama is about as far as can be from offering any sort of real difficulty whatsoever. Despite all that though, Cooking Mama has a great deal of charm to it that will put a smile on your face no matter what; which in itself is a welcome feature in any game. It's not very deep, if at all, and offers little in terms of replay value, but Cooking Mama is a worthwhile, and affordable, distraction while it lasts. Great for kids if you're a parent looking for a fun and non-violent game that's easy to get into.
My daughter loves this game!
